By all accounts, Spain were fortunate to bag a draw which many put down to the raft of second strong players being involved for La Furia Roja but that does not take into account how well Chile played.

For many Jorge Sampaoli utilised a 3-4-3 formation, which saw Chile apply plenty of pressure ion midfield, challenge aggressively and then surge forward – often outnumbering Spain on the break.

With many top international club sides preferring 4-2-3-1 or a hybrid of 4-3-3 – tactical innovation should be encouraged and these specific tactics may well be the way to stop Spain’s domination of the middle of the park.

Intriguingly, for a side that could well be a dark horse at next summer’s World Cup, Chile’s arrival in Brazil depends on two upcoming key matches against Colombia and Ecuador, who are above and below them respectively in South America qualification.
